Musicians needed for Church of England Advent podcasts

17 October 2012

We are planning to release a series of
free podcasts for each day in Advent this year. And need some free
music.

The content is taken from the successful CHP Reflections
for Daily Prayer series, provided by author and
broadcaster The Rev'd Angela Tilby and Professor Jeff Astley of
Durham University. Previous Advent campaigns include Ready Steady
Slow in 2009, which had over 60,000 views on YouTube and we are confident that Reflections
for Advent will have a similar profile.

We want to include short pieces of music appropriate to the Advent
season (and, as far as possible, the readings for the day) of no more than two
minutes or so as part of each daily podcast - which is
where you come in. We are looking for simple, accessible,
meditative vocal, choral, instrumental pieces from a variety of
genres (from Gospel to Gregorian Chant).

All music included would be guaranteed a brief spoken and a full
online credit with link to the appropriate site/shop.

If you're interested, please email advent@churchofengland.org
with your details and we'll get back to you - please don't email
any music files!
